I always thought the el presidenta was a good easy way to judge.three IPSC or IDPA targets at 10 meters spaced 1 meter apart. Shoot 2 rounds into eaach target, reload and shoot 2 more into each target. 4 seconds 0 points down will win this stage at any match
Yep - sure will. On the El Prez, that's a hit factor of 15 (= 60 points/4 seconds). According to this
USPSA Classifier Percentage Calculator, that's better than 100% of all USPSA shooters, in
any division. IOW, it's
never been done - at least as part of an official classifier.
IMO:
From the draw, all 6 shots on an 8" circle at 7-10 yards? Anything under 3 seconds is good. 2-ish is mighty fine.
El Prez? Depends on the platform, but using a standard service revolver, a consistent and clean sub-10s is very good. In the low 8s is mighty fine. Moonclip wheelgunners can take 0.5 - 1 second off that. Semi-auto guys, 1 -1.5 seconds, I'm guessing.
Accuracy at 25 yards? IMO, a good, but not excellent shooter with a service-sized handgun should be able to shoot honest and consistent 3" 5-shot freestyle unsupported groups onto an NRA 25yard slow-fire target. Revolver shooters should be able to do this shooting single
and double action. Excellent would be consistently 2.5" or less.
As some noted, being able to do the 1st 2 doesn't mean the 3rd is automatic, and vice versa.
But I would imagine a lot of handgun shooters spend most of their time at the range poking holes in stationary paper targets.
Shooters at a typical local range often seem to shoot like this, but they don't usually present much of a bar to surpass, either.
I'd like to know how I stand up against the "good" and even the "best" shooters out there.
Is there a place where I can find stats like this?
Shooting matches is where you start to see what's possible & achievable. And I'm not referring to some big match that draws sponsored shooters, either: You'll likely see some impressive shooting even at your local match.
Short of that, you could get some USPSA targets and a par timer and shoot some actual USPSA classifiers (1st link), then use the Calculator below to see how you'd rank among USPSA shooters.

If you're wondering how your target accuracy stacks up, get some 25 yard slow fire (NRA B-16) targets and shoot a bunch of 10-shot unsupported 25 yard groups. Calculate your average score and see how you compare (keeping in mind that bullseye shooters also shoot at 50 yards, and do all their shooting 1-handed):
High Master: 97.00 and above
Master: 95.00 to 96.99
Expert: 90.00 to 94.99
Sharpshooter: 85.00 to 89.99
Marksman: Below 85.00
